Labor Day Sangria
Ingredients:
pineapple
strawberries
blueberries
4 oz vodka
2 oz triple sec
1 bottle of white wine
2 oz of simply syrup
6 oz of sparkling wine
Mix the fruit with the vodka and triple sec and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To get the star-shaped pineapple, trim the skin of the pineapple then slice it into large rounds. Then I simply stick a metalstar cookie cutter into the center of each round to cut out the shape.
You can put as little or as much fruit in as you want. For this particular recipe I loaded up on the fruit. When you are ready to serve the Sangria, mix the wine and simple syrup together then add in the fruit/liquor combo. Top with the sparkling wine. To serve add ice to the bottom of a glass fill up the rest of the glass with fruit then pour the sangria on top and enjoy!
